Happy 10th Birthday Sydney

A Happy Birthday Poem for Sydney

The snow came down, the temperatures dropped...
Mom yelled for the nurse and out you popped!
Back in '99 you arrived in a blizzard!
And despite what Jordan says
You looked nothing like a lizard!


Uncle Brian's favorite story to tell about thee
Watching you & Andrew when you were three
You had a fun day
And all was cool
Until you locked Uncle Bri
In the laundry room!


Ten quick years - They've gone by fast...
Without a doubt it's been quite a blast!
Pop Warner cheerleading, playing with your friends
Softball games, summertime you hoped wouldn't end


We're thankful to have shared your life with you
All the fun things we've had the chance to do...
Trips to museums, beaches, and zoos
Camping, water parks and Disney too!


The big one - TEN! Now you're double digits
So Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!
Love, Your Little Midgets
(William and Claudia, that is!!!)
(and Aunt Sue and Uncle Brian)
